This day 76 years ago marks the day Palestinians went through the first Nakbah (The Catastrophe), the atrocities and ethnic cleansing by the colonial regime Israel as the inception of its nation-state. The war crimes and terror subjected to the Palestinians since 1948 have killed, injured and displaced more lives than any other war we have witnessed in a century. Humanity is at a loss and justice is no where to be seen.
On this day, as we commemorate the first Nakbah of the Palestinians, of which the catastrophe is still ongoing as we speak, we must take a stand and call out the unjust and unlawful occupation by the Israelis government and its supporters and work towards putting a definite stop to Israeli impunity and barbaric war crimes. No children deserve to be maimed let alone killed. No mothers should mourn their lifeless babies. No fathers should search under the rubbles of their own homes to look for the families they have lost. Humanity must prevail!
Apart from condemning the genocide, we must in perpetuity demand for a ceasefire, for divestment and boycott on companies, institutions and governments who fund this atrocities. At the same time we should work together to give a multidimensional support over the Palestinians' cause for freedom and rights to defence.
They are made refugees on their own land. Displaced and deprived.
Palestinians have all the rights to exist as fellow human beings, to resist the occupation and injustices, and to safely return to their homeland.
"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."
